The Beloved of the Heir

122. Joe's Approval

Tonight is the most beautiful night of the last nights, this anniversary is also different from the previous birthday, so special and will be remembered by Israel for the rest of his life.

Erlangga put a necklace of sapphire blue jewels on Israel, it is romantic when seeing a married couple from the point of view of the chefs and also the waiters of the restaurant make envy while also being happy to see it.

"Thank you so much, My husband!" Israel immediately kissed Erlangga's lips in front of everyone who witnessed it while clapping their hands.

"Remember, it's not free, Mrs Erlangga!" whispered Erlangga quietly in the ear of Israel.

Grael blushed in shame when she was called by the name of her husband, let alone knowing that the intention of the husband's words was to ask for a child from his womb.

"Yes" said Israel who assured her husband that he would grant Erlangga's wish to have children.

Heard the green light from his wife, Erlangga told Israel to blow and cut the cake accompanied by the sound of violin and the waiters of the restaurant or chef who sang a happy birthday song using the language of the region.

After Joshua's family has left, Joe talks to Emira in the family room before deciding to cancel the match with Steven's family.

"Well, you know you're lying, Emira! Tell me honestly, have you slept with Rangga?" Joe stood his back to Emira who was kneeling while crying.

Rio and Windy sat on the couch listening to Joe, but Emira didn't answer the father's question for a long time, upsetting him and yelling, "ANSWER!"

The sound of Joe's insistence made all shocked especially Emira, she jumped in shock with her shoulders lifted because of her fear, she rushed to answer while crying. "Yes!"

Joe immediately scared at Emira's words, he turned his body and threw the display glass he pointed at right next to Emira, making his daughter frightened.

"Bah!" windy's heart ached so much to see her stepson almost hurt by her husband.

"Shut up!" joe's snapped glared at Windy, while Rio was just speechless.

"Emyra! If you want Papa to derail your relationship with Steven, answer honestly! Have you given—"

joe's words stopped when his heart was so sick that he had to say that his son's holiness was gone, he knew very well what Emira was like. There was no way her daughter was so cheaply willing to sacrifice what she defended in order to break with Steven. Joe had to re-connect his cut-off words.

"Well, you know you're lying, Emira! So, tell me honestly, if you're honest, Papa will call off your match with Steven!" The intonation of Joe's voice begins to subside when a father's inner self believes his son is lying for his own good.

"Tell me honestly, son!" windy said softly.

"Sorry Emira, Papa! Emira confesses wrong, for lying to Papa and Louis' family! Emira was right to sleep with Rangga, ta–tbut .. we didn't do it!" Emira continued to kneel while bowing her head as her tears so profusely cried, her hands clenched tightly at the pants she was wearing.

Joe clenched his hands while hardening his jaw, he could not believe that the child would be willing to humble himself to be able to escape the match with Steven.

"Why are you doing such a stupid thing, Emira!" Joe massaged his dizzy forehead.

"Papa knows for himself, Emira wants to cancel the match with Steven a long time!" Emira tries to recall the request she once made to Joe.

"But not like this either, Emira! You are .. aaarrgghh! Don't you love him too? Are you tired of Steven?" Joe is eager to hit his daughter but he tries to hold back his anger.

"Enough, Emira!" Joe slapped his daughter's cheek so hard, that Rio instantly pulled his sister in his arms.

"Fuck, enough!" Windy went forward putting up a body for his stepson.

Joe immediately realized from his actions, this was his own fault that was willing to let his son be used by the Steven family because for the sake of his company as well. Joe looked at Rio, if Rio was willing to take care of his own company then he would not let Emira get caught up in this kind of situation.

"It's all because of ka—"

"What's? Papa wants to blame Rio? Papa is not aware, Papa should try to understand the wishes of the children Papa! Papa was nothing more than a selfish old man!" windy said before Joe threw the blame at his kids.

Windy's words made Joe's heart realize he was trying to win his own heart and mind, if he canceled an arranged marriage with Steven's family, then automatically Steven's side asked for double as compensation. However, if he does not cancel the match, then he will be a selfish and cruel parent with his own biological child.

Joe decided long ago, until he finally said, "Papa will call Steven's family and ask to cancel this match!"

Emira who was in the arms of the older brother immediately looked at his father. "Seriously dad?"

"Forget over! Papa's just kidding!" joe threw his face away.

"Father!" Emira immediately released Rio's embrace and ran to hug Joe.

"Thank you, Pah!" emira said crying.

"Rio, you set up a second meeting with the Louis family after the deal to cancel the matchmaking with Steven's family." Joe tightened his embrace on his beloved daughter.

"Well, Pah!" sahut Rio who also felt relieved nial apparently Rangga still maintain the honor of Emira and her father bless their relationship.

...----------------...

In the hotel room, Steven was enjoying a wine accompanied by beautiful women from the country. The man who is the same age as Rangga and Israel is enjoying vacation time to his uncle's country without taking his girlfriend named Emira.

For Steven, Emira is just a doll whenever he plays when needed. She does love Emira, but the fear of her parents makes her courage shrink to love Emira.

So Steven prefers to listen to what his parents say, even though in his mind he loves Emira.

"Stev, if you're getting tired of Emira, give it to me! Still virgin, right?" chirped his friend Steven.

"Sat! Dare to ask Emira, meaning my enemy!" Steven immediately got up from his seat and threw a punch.

"Eh, don't fight! Here's the info on the girl you asked for!" Max gives one lbar with info about Israel.

"Grael Arabella, age 18, all the rest of the private data? ******!" Steven squeezed the information paper he got from his friend.
